Glenn Hauser logs March 13, 2016

** BRAZIL. 11925.2, March 13 at 0026, enthusiastic Brazuguese,
probably futebol, sounds the same as on 9645.4, i.e. R. Bandeirantes
running on both frequencies; 11925.2 is S6 with het from a 11925
station; and altho also metering S6, neighbor on 11934.9 sounds quite
louder, with Aparecida ID in passing (axually RÃdio RB2 relaying R.
Aparecida); also with a het, as to be a Brazilian SW broadcaster, you
*must* be off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
CUBA. 13740, March 13 at 0100, RHC Spanish with full frequency
announcement introducing evening span, but skips from 9 to 6 MHz band
with no mention of 6870, the semi-harmonic I have just heard again with a
JBA carrier. It`s been matched previously to 13740, so I try again for a
few minutes, but 6870 is just too weak, and by 0154, 13740 itself has
faded way down, while 6870 stays the same, during an Arnie Coro non-DX
segment as I listen to 6075 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9965.24, March 13 at 0024, R. Cairo English to
North America sesquihour is about to end, but accomplishing only a whine
and some just-barely modulation; S8 and no panoply of spur carriers
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1030, March 13
at 0122, I find some Spanish dominant, PSA for Mexican maestros,
probably from the SEP tho not heard credited, and another PSA, then 0123
mentions ``Radio FÃrmula Monterrey 7-70``. As I try to DF it, losing
out to English political talk NW/SE, presumably KTWO WY, and also
another SS. I would assume this is XEYC in Ciudad JuÃrez, Chihuahua, the
only FÃrmula listed on 1030, and which I used to get regularly; except
this item via DXLD 16-07 said XEYC had moved to 1460:
``Changes at Grupo Radio MÃxico, Ciudad JuÃrez: 720 XEJCC El FonÃgrafo, ex Extremo 7-20 970 XEJ R MÃxico Noticias, ex La J Mexicana1190 XEPZ R Centro, ex R NorteÃa1240 XEWG La Jefa, ex Cambio 12-401300 XEP R Mexicana ex R 131460 XEYC R FÃrmula, ex 1030 kHz (HÃctor GarcÃa Bojorge via Mauno Ritola, WRTH via Central [sic] American News, ed. Tore Larsson, Feb MW News via DXLD)
I
had been hearing R. FÃrmula Noticias, XEYC on 1030 as recently as Dec
29. 1460 would certainly be a clearer spot for it, with only 4 Mexicans already listed there, and nothing else in the tri-state area. But
not for here: XEYC often dominated 1030 over KTWO or anything else. I
had also been hearing FonÃgrafo on 720, Centro on 1190 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
So what is going on here? If XEYC
really vacated 1030, could XEACH 770 Monterrey have moved to 1030 yet
not updated their ID??? Unlikely, and MTY has big guns on 990 and 1050.
Maybe FÃrmula 770 in MTY was simply mentioned in a promo on the entire
network out of XERFR 970 DF? In any event, there is obviously still a
FÃrmula on 1030, so what else if not XEYC JuÃrez?
XEYC is nowhere to be found in this station listhttp://www.gradiomex.com/estaciones-por-ciudad/nor do they have any Radio FÃrmulas, so maybe GRM has nothing to do with the station on 1030.
The Radio FÃrmula websitehttp://www.radioformula.com.mx/is no help at all in finding affiliates around the country.
BTW,
WRTH 2016 keys 1030 XEYC as CH26, but that leads to a station addressed
in Ojinaga/Presidio TX, some mixup there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6040, March 13 at 0102,
The Mighty KBC is only S7 via Nauen, GERMANY, with music, 0104 `Giant
Jukebox` with Eric can Willigen, but copy is tough even once I switch to
LSB to avoid the Brazilian het. Later he says he has bad news, but it`s
a joke about something, not KBC going off the air. He would have a much
better signal in North America if he could get on a pirate relay like
Wolverine Radio! I`ve also suggested a Saturday- or Sunday-afternoon
timing via a WRMI frequency blasting across the continent, when there
would also be less competition from other SW programming than on
Saturday night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH
AMERICA. 6930-USB, March 13 at 0133, big S9+25 signal with torch song,
0134 honky-tonk piano, 0137 Wolverine Radio ID as expected, vocal tune;
still going past 0200, and was not on at previous pirate band check
circa 0100. Many other logs of it between 0140 and 0243*; keyword for
song titles was ``life``:http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,26935.0.html(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

PERU. Right after my nearest streetlite ignites at 0041 UT March 13,
with a burst of RF noise on the 49m band and beyond (orange sunset and
it`s cloudy so would be a bit later with clear sky; tonight`s Enid SS
was 0037 UT), I bring up the JBA carrier on 5980 from R. Chaski: now it
suffers from 5990 China-via-Cuba musical splash. As expected second
carrier from BBC/UAE cuts on about *0058:25 causing a warbling het as
the two are not exactly same frequency.
After 0100 the ACI comes
from 5985 WRMI, but I still manage to detect the Chaski cutoff at
0109:28.5*. I`m making a point of rechecking only one night later, since
on UT March 12 it wasn`t too clear circa 0109:11.5. Discounting the
latter, and recomputing from previous timing March 4 until 0108:30.5,
now 9 nights ago, it`s 58 seconds later, divided by 9 = 6.44 seconds
per, closer to the slippage rate we were expecting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 6173.9, March 13 at 0036, JBA
carrier, S5 with traces of talk, presumed R. Tawantinsuyo, Cuzco on its
signature off-frequency. No Vietnam yet via Woofferton on 6175 to block
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non].
5960, March 13 at 0023, Stimme der TÃrkei in German! announcement, with
flute music, S9+20 over lite CCI. Aoki lists this as if a scheduled
broadcast, despite being 1:23 am in Germany, 500 kW, 310 degrees from
Emirler at 0000-0055 --- but I think it`s a frequent mistake by the
sleeping sloppyrator at Emirler, failing to turn off the transmitter
circa 2355 after the English to North America, as German continues on
the satellite/internet stream. No 0000 German broadcast is in WRTH, and
it`s become impossible to find any SW scheduling information on the TRT
website (about time I got a schedule in the P-mail unless they`ve
deleted that too). Yup, it`s gone at 0043, long before the German
service should have ended, uncovering the very weak S5 understation,
which per Aoki should be: PBS Xinjiang, 100 kW ND from Urumqi, East
Turkistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
2097.3, March 13 at 0056 UT, CW beacon A is JBA, just 19 minutes after
my sunset in Enid, so it`s still daytime in Quartzsite AZ, alleged
location of this; gaisma.com doesn`t realize Quartzsite is a major MF
transmitter site, so closest listing is for Lake Havasu City, current
night hours there 0143-1351 UT (Blythe CA would be closer but not listed
either!). LSS is nigh enough for A to be propagating eastward (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7425, March 13 at 0142,
gone again, no trace of the leapfrog mixing product from Greenville-B,
which was there last night, despite huge signals again on its
progenitors, 7305 Vatican relay and 7365 MartÃ. Something changes from
one occasion to another, like different transmitter/antenna combination
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5129.75-AM, UT Sunday March 13 at 0029, WBCQ with `Radio TimTron Worldwide`, S9+20, drama about a Martian invasion.
7489.96-AM,
UT Sunday March 13 at 0030, WBCQ with J. P. Ferraro on `Shortwave
Saturday Night` originating from his real station WHVW 950 in Hyde Park
NY, talking with a caller about the mafia.
9329.80-CUSB, UT Sunday
March 13 at 0033, WBCQ with anti-Jewish comments as if Christians
should own the Holy Land, reference to a revisionist history website
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 760-, March 13
at 0127 UT, country gospel song about Jee-zus, VG signal looping
ESE/WNW, making fast SAH with WJR which can only be heard by nulling
this. I bet it`s the 10-kW ND daytimer in Arkansas. More seguÃs of such
tunes, with 7-second pauses between them; 0141 UT ``Old-Time Religion``
by Willie Nelson. Finally long announcement at unexpected break of 0151
UT, full unashamed ID from ``KMTL, Sherwood-Little Rock-North Little
Rock, Arkansas, United States of America`` pimping for new gospel
program clients, also streaming via http://kmtl760am.com
Yes, I said it`s a daytimer, nor do they mention any FM // wagger as
an excuse for ``accidentally`` being on AM at night. FCC official night
hours for NO KMTL on 760 are 0015-1215 UT in March; 0045-1145 UT in
April (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED.
1521.0, March 13 at 0118, JBA het against KOKC 1520.0 OKC with silly
Capitol Hill HS football game, no doubt the 2-megawatt, BSKSA TA beacon
from Duba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
